Sir Ernst Hans Josef Gombrich, OM, CBE (30 March 1909 – 3 November 2001) was an Austrian-born art historian who became a naturalized British citizen in 1947.[1] He spent most of his working life in the United Kingdom. He is the author of many works of cultural history and art history, including The Story of Art, a book widely regarded as one of the most accessible introductions to the visual arts.

BiographyThe son of Karl Gombrich and Leonie Hock, Gombrich was born in Vienna, Austria-Hungary, into an assimilated bourgeois family of Jewish origin who were part of a sophisticated social and musical milieu. His father was a lawyer and former classmate of Hugo von Hofmannsthal and his mother was distinguished pianist who graduated from the Vienna Conservatoire with the School's Medal of Distinction. At the Conservatoire she was a pupil of, amongst others, Anton Bruckner. However, rather than follow a career as a concert pianist (which would have been difficult to combine with her family life in this period) she became an assistant of Theodor Leschetizky. She also knew Arnold Schoenberg, Gustav Mahler, Hugo Wolf and Johannes Brahms [3]. Rudolf Serkin was a close family friend. Adolf Busch and members of the Busch Quartet regularly met and played in the family home. Throughout his life Gombrich maintained a deep love and knowledge of classical music. He was a competent cellist and in later life at home in London regularly played the chamber music of Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, Beethoven and others with his wife and elder sister Dea Forsdyke, a concert violinist.

Gombrich was educated at Theresianum Secondary School and at Vienna University before coming to Britain in 1936, where he took up a post as a research assistant at the Warburg Institute, University of London. In 1936, he married Ilse Heller, a pupil of his mother, and herself an accomplished pianist. Their only child, Richard, went on to become a noted Indologist and scholar of Buddhism, acting as the Boden Professor of Sanskrit at Oxford University from 1976 to 2004.

During World War II, Gombrich worked for the BBC World Service, monitoring German radio broadcasts. When in 1945 an upcoming announcement was prefaced by a Bruckner symphony written for Wagner's death, Gombrich guessed correctly that Hitler was dead and promptly broke the news to Churchill. He returned to the Warburg Institute in November 1945, where he became Senior Research Fellow (1946), Lecturer (1948), Reader (1954), and eventually Professor of the History of the Classical Tradition and director of the institute (1959–72). He was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 1960, made CBE in 1966, knighted in 1972, and appointed a member of the Order of Merit in 1988. He was the recipient of numerous additional honours, including Goethe Prize 1994 and Balzan Prize in 1985 for History of Western Art.

Gombrich was close to a number of Austrian émigrés who fled to the West prior to the Anschluss, among them Karl Popper (to whom he was especially close), Friedrich Hayek and Max Perutz. He was instrumental in bringing to publication Popper's magnum opus The Open Society and Its Enemies. Each had known the other only fleetingly in Vienna, as Gombrich's father served his law apprenticeship with Popper's father. They became lifelong friends in exile.

[edit] WorkGombrich's first book, and the only one he did not write in English, was Eine kurze Weltgeschichte für junge Leser (A short history of the world for young readers), published in Germany in 1936. It was very popular and translated into several languages, but was not available in English until 2005, when a translation of a revised edition was published as A Little History of the World. He did most of this translation and revision himself, and it was completed by his long-time assistant and secretary Caroline Mustill and his granddaughter Leonie Gombrich after his death [4].

The Story of Art, first published in 1950 and currently in its 16th edition, is widely regarded as one of the most accessible introductions to the history of visual arts. Originally intended for adolescent readers, it has sold millions of copies and been translated into more than 30 languages.

Other major publications include Art and Illusion (1960), regarded by critics to be his most influential and far-reaching work, and the essays gathered in Meditations on a Hobby Horse (1963) and The Image and the Eye (1981). Other important books are Aby Warburg: An Intellectual Biography (1970), The Sense of Order (1979) and The Preference for the Primitive (posthumously in 2002). The complete list of his publications, E.H. Gombrich: A Bibliography, was published by Joseph Burney Trapp in 2000.

实际上根本没有艺术其物。只有艺术家，他们是男男女女，具有绝佳的天资，善于平衡形状和色彩以达到“合适”的效果；更难得的是，他们是具有正直性格的人，绝不肯在半途止步，时刻准备放弃所有省事的效果，放弃所有表面上的成功，去经历诚实的工作中的辛劳和痛苦。

一个人为鲜花、为衣服或者为食物这样费心推敲，我们会说他琐碎不堪，因为我们可能会觉得那些事情不值得这么操心，但是，有些在日常生活中也许是坏习惯而常常遭到压制或掩盖的事情，在艺术世界里却恢复了应有的地位。在事关协调形状或者调配颜色时，艺术家要永远极端地“琐碎”，或者更恰当地说，要极端地挑剔。他有可能看出我们简直无法察觉的色调和质地的差异。而且，他的工作要比我们日常生活体验的事情要远为复杂。他所要平衡的绝不止两三种颜色、外形或味道。他的画布上大概有几百种色调和形状必须加以平衡，直到看起来“合适”为止。一块绿色可能突然显得黄了一些，因为他离一块强烈的蓝色太近——他可能觉得一切都被破坏了，画面上出现了一个刺耳的音符。他必须从头再来。他可能为此苦恼不堪，也可能苦思冥想彻夜不眠，或者整天伫立在画前，想办法在这里那里添上一笔颜色而后又把它抹去，尽管你我或许未曾察觉二者有什么差异。然而，一旦他获得成功，我们就都觉得他达到的境界已经非常合适，无法更动了——那是我们这个很不完美的世界中的一个完美的典范。

几何形式的规整和对自然的犀利观察，将二者结合起来乃是一切埃及艺术的特点。当时最紧要的不是好看不好看，而是完整不完整。艺术家的任务是要尽可能清楚、尽可能持久地把一切事物都保留下来。无论哪一个事物，他们都得从它最具有特性的角度去表现。艺术家在画中所体现的不只是他对形式和外貌的知识，还有他对那些东西的意义的知识。

但是，我们圈外人通常为之焦虑的那些观念，即美和表现的观念，艺术家却很少谈起。当然情况也不是一直如此，但是过去已有好多世纪是这样，现在也还是这样。部分原因在于：艺术家往往腼腆怕羞，说“美”这类大话觉得不好意思。如果谈到“表现他们的感情”，以及使用类似的讲法，就会觉得自命不凡。他们把这些看作理所当然的东西，而且已经看出讨论起来没有益处。这是一个因素，似乎还是一个重要的因素，然而还有另一个因素。据我看，在艺术家日常为之发愁的事情当中，那些观念远远不像圈外人猜想的这么举足轻重。艺术家设计画面、画速写或者考虑他的画是否已经完工时，困扰他的事情难以用语言表达。他也许要说他发愁的是画得“合适”(right)与否。于是，我们必须首先理解他用“合适”这个谦抑的小字眼寓意何在，才能开始理解艺术家的实际追求。

我认为，我们只有借助于自己的体验，才能理解这一点。当然我们完全不是艺术家，可能从来也没有尝试画一幅画，也许连这种想法也没有。但是，这并不意味着我们所面临的问题跟艺术家生涯中存在的那些问题毫无相似之处。事实上，即使我使用的方式极为简陋，也很想证明难得有什么人会跟这类问题毫不沾边。在搭配一束花时，要搀杂、调换颜色，这里添一些，那里去一点儿，凡是做过这种事的人，都会有一种斟酌形状和颜色的奇妙感受，但又无法准确地讲述自己在追求什么样的和谐。我们只是觉得这里加上一点红色就能使花束焕然改观，或者觉得那片蓝色本身还不错，可是跟其他颜色不“协调”，而偶然来上一簇绿叶，似乎它又显得“合适”起来。“不要再动它了”，我们喊道，“现在十全十美了。”我承认，并不是人人都这么仔细地摆弄花束，但是几乎人人都有力求“合适”的事情。那种事情也许仅仅是要给某一件衣服配上一条合适的带子；或者不过是为某种搭配是否合适而费心，譬如考虑盘子里的布丁和奶油的比例调配得是否合适，然而，无论它们多么微不足道，我们都会觉得增一分或者减一分...

我们已经看到在哥特人的入侵跟我们现在所称的哥特式艺术的兴起之间大约隔着700年的时间。我们也知道在黑暗时期的冲击和混乱之后艺术逐渐地在复兴，而且在哥特式时期，那种复兴就开始发展到鼎盛阶段。

布鲁内莱斯基那一派的佛罗伦萨的艺术名家已经发展成功一种方法，把自然表现在画面中几乎具有科学的精确性。他们先从直线透视的框架入手，运用它们的解剖知识和短缩法则去构成人体。凡.艾克走的是相对的路线，他耐心地在细节上再增添细节，知道整个画面变得像是镜子般的反应可见世界为止，使人感到真实。北方艺术和意大利艺术之间的这种重大区别一直保持了很多年。
